#interval workout

[nicistrying]

I remembered to do a Flex Friday! Smashed out some core intervals after work. I did this circuit 3 times. It felt good and gave me such a good energy boost! Also found out today that Uncle Manager has put me and my coworker forward to be considered as deputy managers this year when new stores get opened! It doesn't matter if we don't get those ones either bc at least we're on the area manager's radar. And I think he likes me bc I'm usually in when he comes to visit and he always calls me a 'little trooper' which is condescending af but if it gets me on a salary then idc 😂 Feeling strong and capable today, though my very achey body disagrees 😭 definitely need to take it as easy as I can tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Two workout Tuesday! I got up early for a swim! I kept it easy since I hadn’t been in the pool for over a week. I did 1,000 yards and switched up using a pull bouy and fins. It went by fine though! The pool was super full! Glad I got in there early and claimed a spot 🏊🏻‍♀️ And after work I went to run club! The workout on deck was intervals and, per usual, I wasn’t excited. It was a small group there, only 4 of us total. But I ended up doing really well on this workout! It was 3x800, recovery jog, then 4x300 all with increasing paces. I’d say I crushed it! I just tried to keep up with everyone and speed up each one! I definitely prefer the shorter intervals. Just sprint hard and it’s over quick! But overall I was very pleased with this workout and how I felt during it 🏃🏼‍♀️ Today is a rest day! I am going to skype into a meeting that Scott is going to with a wedding photographer tonight. Hopefully we like her because I love all of her pics! 😊 Happy hump day!

Now when this week is over, I can properly get back to writing, filming and working out, lol. II collocvium going down in 2 days plus a big maths test, yay.

Craving these warm summer runs.

Week 4, day 1: I had to run 20 minutes in a moderate tempo, but I had one of those day where it felt impossible to drag myself through one straight run, so I decided to divide the run up into intervals of 3 min running, 30 sec walking until the 20 minutes was completed. AND IT ENDED UP BEING AN AMAZING RUN, I GOT A NEW PR AND COMPLETED MY FIRST LONG TERM RUNNING GOAL 💙🏃💙🏃💙🏃💙🏃💙

I'm absolutely terrible at running so I've been on the look out for new running programs. The one I'm currently trying out includes interval training. One of my friends gave me this workout today: 4 miles descend on 10 minutes.

Sunday 20th Feb:

Barely slept Friday night bc I just couldn't get to sleep despite going to bed at 8.30pm. So waking up at 3.30 hit particularly hard Saturday morning but I was fine once I got up and stretched, had a really good shift running the store from 5am-noon all by myself, and we went to Matthew's parents' via Nanna Ann's house in the afternoon. I did fall asleep after dinner though so we came home at 9pm and watched TV for an hour or so and I slept until 9.30 this morning!! My god it felt so good to stay in bed uninterrupted after Matthew got up. Had a slow morning, then spent the day doing allll the housework. Matthew sorted the garden and walked Maggie while I did all the inside stuff. It was nice to spend a Sunday around the house! Had a lovely deep stretch afterwards, followed by some core & cardio. Really enjoyed it! Felt awesome to work out again after a week off, not that my muscles are any less achey than this time last week. This week's goal is to work on my protein game 💪🏻

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! Let's get it this week 😁

Weds 2nd Feb:

Weird not being at work on a wednesday! I slept much better last night and woke up actually feeling rested so I'm really glad I didn't have a 5am start today.

We went for a nice walk this morning, booked a few house viewings, had lunch and Matthew went to work. I was feeling all deflated because I hadn't been as productive as I wanted but I managed to drag myself upstairs for a core workout. It wasn't super intense and I couldn't quite get into it but I did start to enjoy it for the last round (thanks in large part to Jamie Roy 🙌🏻) so I'm still glad I got it done. Felt much better after, as always 😊

I did 4 rounds 40 secs work, 20 secs rest:

Wanted to call my Nanna tonight but it's almost 7 and I need to be in bed by 8.30 and we always talk for at least an hour so that will have to wait til tomorrow. Trying not to beat myself up over it and just enjoy an evening to myself, eating Matthew's delicious curry and watching Queer Eye 😌

Maggie update: she's really getting the hang of the buttons! She's pressing them every now and then to see what happens, and she understands I want her to push them when I tap them eg if she's been standing at the door and I say come use your outside button, she'll come with me and push it after I show her which one it is.

Hope everyone is well 😊
